Despite them taking more self inflicted rakes to the face than Sideshow Bob, this tour has been notably lacking in pious declarations from respected cricket writers, underlining in no uncertain terms that the England men's team haven't earned the right to set foot on the MCG. Odd that.

Scorchers 63-2 v Hurricanes #WBBL 🏏
Scorchers not heading for a huge score, especially bearing in mind that they made 186 v Hurricanes at this ground during the group stages AND DID NOT WIN!

The trouble with referring to previous seasons as "WBBL09", "WBBL10" etc. (apart from it just being confusing because "09" implies 2009) is that I'm constantly having to do mental juggling to work out when that actually was - it turns every stat into a maths test.
